Malakai Jones:
Would any of you enjoy reading a "dresden-esque" novel with heavy christian undertones? I feel that we christian readers don't have books that could be classified as "action/fantasy" usually. (Most christians are discouraged from reading books with wizards and witches..lol). Anyway, give me some opinions, some feed back . Thanks a lot, have a great day! ;D

Bob:
Not sure that it would be commercially viable, even if you could find someone sufficiently skilled to not let the religious message dictate the plot and characterizations.  Now if Jim ever decided to write a novel about the Knights....

Malakai Jones:
I'm actually writing the book, I'm not really looking to make any money off of it really, just a hobby and I have a lot ideas. I've got several chapters down already, just wondering if a thing like that would interest any christian readers who are into more "fantasy" based stories.

Sorryman105:
How do you define heavy Christian undertones?

Yes, I could enjoy such a novel. But you'd be treading dangerous ground and at risk for all kinds of pain due to the sensitive nature of fiddling with peoples heart felt beliefs. The Chronicles of Narnia succeeded though. Contrary to another poster, the religious message should help dictate plot and characterization or you are wasting the chance to appeal to Christian readers.
